Dr. Temple Grandin is an esteemed professor at Colorado State University, author, and autism advocate. Born in 1947 with autism, she overcame challenges which led her to become a prominent leader of autism awareness and she shares her personal experiences in order to foster understanding and support.

"As the number of children diagnosed with autism continues to rise nationally, Dr. Grandin is sharing her message about the disorder and “differently-abled brains” with packed houses. At the heart of that message is this: Rigid academic and social expectations could wind up stifling a mind that, while it might struggle to conjugate a verb, could one day take us to distant stars."

Dr. Grandin will share her personal perspectives on the things that helped her and how to provide opportunities for those with “differently abled” brains. The keynote presentation will be followed by a question and answer session.
